Minutes after an aide to John McCain effectively described Sarah Palin as unhinged — the latest sign of open war inside the embattled Republican campaign — the two candidates were roared on to a stage yesterday in Pennsylvania, a state that is central to their ever narrowing path to victory.
In the past week, aides to the Arizona senator have briefed reporters anonymously against Mrs Palin, describing the Alaska Governor as a “diva”. Yesterday a far harsher pejorative emerged: one called her a “whack job”, a term usually reserved for people who are dangerously unbalanced.

There you go again.

Amazing how I don't see you going after TheBlackMessiah. I may have listened to you on short wave since you first started, but your wasting time blasting Palin over the others...intriguing. Will the black messiah be better for the value of your metal sales?

Please give me a break with your "metal sales" BS based on what I've earned under Bush I should be rooting for the "wack-job" however if you can't see the fact that she is a full blown nut I can only conclude you don't know anything about American history ....I have a simple test for anyone seeking high office....know more about American history and the constitution than I do...I've watched her for the past month and she knows squate...as for Obama...America deserves him!

A perverse sentiment that I agree with! Every American that votes for Obummer will reap what they sow!! It's high time that America get a full dose of his ideology for at least four years in order to drive them back to the words of the Founding Fathers. I welcome the wailing of the great unwashed, gullible, masses....

I don't agree with that. Not everyone has been taken in by Obummer and McNutz. Those who haven't been conned by either one of them don't deserve what is going to happen when one or the other of them is Diebolded into office.

There is a small chance if the Democrats do take control of all three branches that a renewed opposition party will form from the ruins of the GOP a long shot but the only shot my reservation is that to many generations of Americans have no problem with a "little" socialism...then we have the problem with the evangelicals who are so lost it is embaressing to call myself a christian....then the other side...Americans forced South Africans to accept a black president...so a black American president should be no problem...right!

too many generations of Americans have no problem with a "little" socialism

As we import more immigrants from Third World countries where they grew up with socialism, they tend to be Dem voters so little by little becomes a lot and the majority of voters look to vote in whichever political party promises them the most benefits.That's why the GOP has moved leftward and their politicians have become RINO in attitude. It's the only way they can satisfy their electorate and keep/win their seats. I see no resurrection of conservative values in the GOP. That party is now too heavily compromised. However saying that, if there is a long lasting global recession and the EU socialist inclined nations have a rough go of it and big govt entitlement programs fail, then there may be a return in the US electorate's mindset to admiring small gov't, self-sufficiency/self-reliance.

Indeed. I've often wondered that myself - is this what the Holy Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Ghost would support? A basic tenet of the evangelical religion is looking forward to a final destruction of earth so they can tip toe over the dead bodies to Heaven. Not too Christian an outlook imho.

When have the electorate ever had a mindset admiring smallgov't? Neither wing of our one party is for smaller gov't. I just laugh til my sides ache when the marxist-socialist parties fire salvos back and forth accusing each other of being tax ansd spenders. Both are!
What's the difference whether one gives big entitlement programs while the other give major tax breaks to businesses and cost plus contracts to the MIC. We end up with a looted treasury either way. Of course if you are a neocon being taken care of, I can understand your supporting the pubbiebots or being a pubbiebot. And of course we have the demonwits with their hands out grubbing for any freebie that comes along.
Then there are those of us who support the Ron Paul's that know the real score. Trouble is there are too many of you who still support the lesser of two evils.

That may be a truthful statement. She is however, out there mouthing the words they are putting in her head. I just shudder everytime she lets us know that she can say Ahmadinejad's name.
She's outta her league and is being used by mcnutz and the gop because they thought her sex appeal would be a big factor in garnering votes. When this election is over and the obanger is placed on the throne, Sarah will become yesterday's news

"There were many other significant issues that led to our original Fourth of July; so why aren't Americans familiar with the rest? Because in the 1920s, 30s, and 40s, a group of secular-minded writers (including Charles and Mary Beard, W. E. Woodward, Fairfax Downey, and others) began penning works on American history that introduced a new paradigm. For this group, economics was the only issue of importance, so they began to write texts accordingly (their approach is now described as "the economic view of American history" and since the 1960s has been widely embraced throughout the education community). Consequently, since "taxation without representation" was the economic grievance in the Declaration, it became the sole clause that Americans studied.
As a result, God is no longer visible in American history; and His absence is now construed as a mandate for secularism. Texts now forcefully assert that the American founding produced the first intentionally secular government in history - even though the Declaration officially acknowledges God in four separate clauses. (But who still teaches the Declaration - or even reads it?) Similarly, leaders such as John Hancock and John Adams receive credit as being the source of our independence, even though John Adams himself declared that the Rev. Dr. Jonathan Mayhew and the Rev. Dr. Samuel Cooper were two of the individuals "most conspicuous, the most ardent, and influential" in the "awakening and revival of American principles and feelings" that led to American independence. Regrettably, God (and His servants) have largely disappeared from the presentation of American history in general and America's founding in particular.
As a further example, consider the legendary Minutemen: even though they are still honored in many texts, their leader, the Rev. Jonas Clark, is no longer mentioned - nor the fact that many of the Minutemen were deacons in his church. And the Rev. James Caldwell is no longer acknowledged as a key leader of military forces in New Jersey - nor the Rev. John Peter Gabriel Muhlenberg (who led 300 men from his church against the British) as one of Washington's most trusted generals."

a. When have the electorate ever had a mindset admiring smallgov't?
b. What's the difference whether one gives big entitlement programs while the other give major tax breaks to businesses and cost plus contracts to the MIC.
c. Then there are those of us who support the Ron Paul's that know the real score. Trouble is there are too many of you who still support the lesser of two evils.

a. pre-FDR
b. actually Both parties give big domestic entitlement programs and BOTH parties believe in taxing businesses at a very high rate. In fact, the USA has one of the highest corporate tax rates in the Western world. Ye old corporate tax stone has been squeezed dry and that's why many US firms are re-locating their head offices to business friendly international locations.
www.taxfoundation.org/publications/show/22917.html
Currently, the average combined federal and state corporate tax rate in the U.S. is 39.3 percent, second among OECD countries to Japan's combined rate of 39.5 percent.
When compared to other OECD countries:
* 24 U.S. states have a combined corporate tax rate higher than top-ranked Japan. * 32 states have a combined corporate tax rate higher than third-ranked Germany. * 46 states have a combined corporate tax rate higher than fourth-ranked Canada. * All 50 states have a combined corporate tax rate higher than fifth-ranked France.
c. I'm not sure if you are using the rhetorical "you" in your judgment but let me put you on notice one last time, I am a Ron Paul supporter. Otherwise I vote against incumbency - I could care less what party my vote supports re: the House and Senate as long as it is anti-incumbency.

She may indeed be "out of her league" but compared to all the rest of them in that foursome she matches up ok. What I mean by that is that there is not a "brilliant mind" in the lot of them, at least it sure doesn't appear that way. Obama's head is so full of socialist garabage that a real thought would bust his head. McCain has never seen or heard of an expenditure for the military he wasn't in favor of. And Biden thinks Roosevelt got on television when the stock market crashed in 1929. Nah, she is no more nuts than the rest of that crowd.

According to our Constitution, corporate taxes are the only taxes allowed. The individual income tax is illegal.
The cop out is when good citizen voters like yourself come to the aid of the corpoations who have bought and paid for our government, lock, stock, and barrell.
The corporate tax rate keeps getting lowered and we end up paying more of the illgal individual income taxes. If the corporations were paying their fair share, the criminal CEO's wouldn't be ripping off the stockholders and wouldn't be receiving all those golden parachutes when they leave the company aftyer raping and pilliaging it.
American corporations became GIANTS even when they were paying their fair share of taxes. They were the envy of the world. Now that they are in total control of the pols, of us , and many foreign countries, we are screwed paying illegal taxes. They control the economy and make it possible for the crazy zaney pols to pass all that entitlement legislation to counter all the damage they(corporations) have done to individuals income.
We have what we have because it is what the corporations have foisted upon us. When you are out of work and there are little hungry bellies crying out for some food, then it is easy to see how you would support entitlements like unemployment, social security, etc.
We see corporations reneging on pension plans that were negotiated with the workers. Thank God there is soial security becaus the way things are going, that might be all a person has to live on. Corporatins aren't ashamed to steal and run of with private pension money and then the government has to absorb that pension liability.
We need a total collapse of our economy and need to start over by taxing the hell outta the corporations and putting the asses of their criminal CEO's and board members in jail.
....and most of all we need to educate the voters who keep on buying into their chicanery and keep voting for candidates put up by the corporate masters. Then maybe we can do away with all the entitlements, including even the massive corporate entitlements.

Did you not understand the statistics I provided you? It has nothing to do about my coming "to the aid" (????) of corporations. I was simply INFORMING YOU that we have one of the highest corporate tax rates in the Western developed world. And that we can't continue to raise corporate tax rates or we will chase more businesses to other more tax-friendly nations than we have already. It's businesses that employ people - got it? People need jobs - not entitlements. Your perspective is of a retired person, but our nation's economy depends on jobs not entitlements. And in fact one might say that it's the out of balance entitlements with employment productivity - goods and services - that is bringing our nation down.
I would agree with you that the salaries and stock options and Golden Parachutes that are paid to corporate executives is excessive but these companies are private and they make their own rules on corporate perks. What do you want to happen - for Big Gov't to take over businesses in the USA so we can outlaw executive perks? Thanks but no thanks.

Did you not understand that corporate taxes are the only taxes allowed by our Constitution? Apparently you didn't get it. Call it what you want but you are coming down directly in defense of corporate entitlements.
We should have high corporate taxes. Since they are the only tax allowed by our Constitution. Somebody gotta pay to run the country and pay off their owned politicans. If we weren't paying such high illegal income taxes, we wouldn't need all those entitlements. When over 50% of our earnings are taken away through all the taxes at all levels, there isn't much left to get by on.
I'm sorry you don't have the mental capacity to grasp that I am not only talking about retirees, but all the people.
You on the other hand, make no misconceptions when you unequivably support more and more corporate welfare(entitlements). Maybe we just outta let the corporations pay no tax, corrupt whatever politicans they want to, and simply furnish us with a company store, a company house, and no pay whatsoever. No entitelements or benefits either. That would probably be more to your liking. Just think! If we get sick we can either heal ourselves or die. Then we won't be usless eaters.
Tax the hell outta the corporations and they won't have money to throw around and corrupt the government. If corporations paid their fair share, we might have enough money to live within our means and not need handouts (entitlements).. No more corporate welfare (entitlements).

Unlike Palin, at least McCain isn't an "end is nigh" rapture nutter. And he's better informed about what goes on in the world than she is, though that's not saying much.
All of his craziness is secular, so McCain doesn't go around pretending that God told him that we have to occupy Iraq for 100 years or bomb Iran. That in itself makes him less of an embarassment than Palin, who I expect to start talking in tongues during inauguration.

So what if the constitution says only corporations can be taxed? Does that give the government license to tax corporations out of existence in this nation? Use your brain - the government cannot give entitlements like Social Security and Medicare and Medicaid and SCHIPS and unemployment insurance and food stamps and what have you unless it has $ coming in. And if everyone is unemployed and businesses have moved their head offices to other nations because of better tax rates there, we are screwed. Get it?

With all due respect believing "the end is near." is neither here or there however when one digs a little deeper we find Sarah's "end times" idioligy is based on, as is the case with most if not all evangelicals,the Scofield Reference Bible and it's interpretation of Genesis written a hundred years ago....ironic that 70 million so called Christians believe in a lie...once one understands this it is easy to figure out why you have preachers like John Hagee and the Christian Zionist movements blind support of Israel....just my 2c
